Production on Solo wrapped back in October, but news surrounding the project has been interesting since. Howard nearly doubled the project’s original budget for reshoots – apparently, he reshot 80 percent of the film. Along with that, a rumor surfaced back in September that stated Darth Vader will be appearing in the movie, but no other details on that have been released.
